Before the most recent update the endermite attracted the endermen. This, I had used to create an ender xp farm. As of the update, the endermen are no longer attracted to the endermite. Not sure if this is a bug or a change that Mojang wanted to make so thought that it might be useful to just say since it's not on any change list which I have seen thus far.

I can confirm this happens
This is still an issue in 14w18a
Yes, confirmed for 14w18a
Still an issue in 14w18b
Someone look in the obfuscated Enderman class and compare it with 14w11b and 14w18b.

According to a Developer, this is indeed intentional, the functionality has been taken out.
Makes sense, I'm not surprised, thought it was a feature in the first place. Also, I can't believe nobody actually noticed that endermen would walk from far off instead of teleporting to the target, that's probably a bug.
[Mod] Neko
Not sure which version but this is Fixed.
The problem was when the Endermite is spawned with the spawn egg, it has a tag set to PlayerSpawned:0b. BUT if it is spawned by an enderpearl it is PlayerSpawned:1b. For some reason Endermen only attack Endermite if their tag is PlayerSpawned:1b which can be considered a bug.
Sonicwave
Also Endermen still attack Endermites if no player in Survival or Adventure mode is near it.
Based on the resolution of this report (and several others), they should not attack Endermites at all.
muzikbike
Where was this supposed developer comment on this being intentional?
I believe at the time the Endermite were introudced, this was classified as WAI and i firmly believe thats the case to this day.

@@unknown, based on when that comment was written, it probably was on IRC and is now lost to time.
I can confirm for 1.16.1. It happenned to me when I was testing and making an endermen farm
Confirmed/Reproduced in 20w28a.
Is there any way to bypass this, because I was having the same error.
galaxy_2alex
Give the endermite the "PlayerSpawned:1b" tag.
I am using 1.16.5 and this bug is still happening to me. Whenever I spawn an endermite, the enderman do not attack it.

Also noticed this while checking out the new endermite model. Tested in Creative and Spectator modes, in the overworld and in the End. Endermen, both from spawn eggs and natural spawn, ignored spawn egg endermites. Unsure about naturally spawned ones.
